My Thief

When I go to sleep, you become my thief

Why don`t you steal what you can keep?

But you won`t let me be

You break into my dreams

And every day seems different

Sometimes I pretend you`ll come back again

And you`ll console the heart you stole

Have pity on the man

Who knows that you have gone

And has begun to break down

I feel almost possessed

So long as I don`t lose this glorious distress then

You can take all I have left

I know it`s over

If you can`t be my lover

Be my thief

I`m so drowsy now, I`ll unlock the door

What fades in time will hurt much more

So here`s that happy scene

Where you come back to me

It`s only found in fiction

I feel almost possessed

So long as I don`t lose this glorious distress then

You can take all I have left

I know it`s over

If you can`t be my lover

Be my thief

"I didn't lead you on,

But there will always be

A little larceny in everyone

So hush and don`t you cry

I`m trying to be kind

Because I have a perfect alibi"
